  3. Thank you so much for all of the kitchen hacks. My all time favorite is using the paper towel to absorb all of the grease. Thank you Julia and we'll see you next time.

  4. Is it weird that, if I miss her opening; I rewind to see her wave? That’s weird, right?

  5. As much as I love and use your cooking vids, I just as equally love these different vids, too. I've already decided to get several of the tools you mentioned in your last video and now I've just gotten into this one and that egg-slicing trick is worth the price of admission alone. I was going to make egg salad today so the hack couldn't have come at a better time. Love you, Kiddo!

  6. Great tips, Julia .This is going to help a lot of ppl. I knew a few of these ,going to make that Mac n' Cheese look delicious ❤ have a wonderful Sunday, Julia, and thank you for sharing the tips

  8. I think my favorite hint to use is the papertowel soak up of grease after cooking ground meat! I've been doing that since you demo'd doing in a Dump and Go casserole recipe! I had been saving in jars and then disposing the jars. I think this is much better! Easy too!

  9. My dear friend, are so amazing. I'm an old lady and you have helped me with so many great ideas and tips. That's why we all love watching your videos. May God bless y'all ???? ????

  10. You saved the best for last! My son loves macaroni and cheese. I can't wait to try this hack. I may have to make some for myself. I love real cheese!

  14. I love all the cooking and kitchen ideas. Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks!? I'm 60 and you taught me some very good new tricks! I especially love the egg and the fresh fruit tricks! I found all of them very useful. Thanks Julia. Love from Texas ❤

  17. What she said great gob girl.????i bought one of thoes ,met thing they have them at the dollar tree for 1.25.just to let you all no.dollar tree has that meat thing I,dont no what there called

  19. You taught me the paper towel hack and I use it all the time now. I'm 57 and never thought of it and I cook alot.

  20. Love your channel!
    Just started doing the soak for the berries and fruits – definitely a game changer! Also I would encourage your family to ditch the canola oil (and seed oils in general) – food tastes lighter and it’s better for you. ❤

  21. Just loved the tip your Mom gave you about using the paper towel to mop up the grease from the chopped meat! My Mom taught me to pour it into an empty soup can or paper cup and freeze it until garbage day LOL One new hack I want to share that shocked me is to put whole avocados that are just slightly ripe into a covered container of water and keep them in the refrigerator! two weeks on they are still perfectly fresh! I'm not throwing out avocados anymore, YAY!!!! Great tips, Julia, Thank you!

  24. I hate having a paper towel touch the food, so I gather all the meat to one side and then tip the pan. The grease gathers on one side and I can still use the paper towel without it touching the meat.

  25. I loved this video – I did not get a meat thermometer until well into my 40’s and wish I’d bought it ages ago! My other suggestion is a good kitchen scale – so handy!❤

  26. I’ve been using my meat masher to chop up boiled eggs for egg salad as well as cutting cooked potatoes for potato salad. It works great, cuts everything into small bites.

  28. I enjoy you videos so much. I have my lactose intolerant could you do a video please. I really love how you use different verities. I have never eaten lentils but I will try more. Thank you

  29. Nice video. I always rinse my fruit when I buy it but never added the baking soda and vinegar. I will be for sure moving forward. Thank you for sharing.

  30. Loved this one!!! We can All learn from videos like this ????
    I don't have a meat masher. I use my potato masher which works just as well ????
